Make sure you print your reservation as it has the code to open the lock on the back door. My only concern is anyone that has ever stayed at the cabin has the same code. You can use the deadbolt once inside but if gone the place is pretty much accessible. The lock numbers are roman numerals and hard to read so have a flashlight ready. Cabin was toasty warm with the propane fireplace. Plenty of dishes and kitchenware. Stove and refrig worked great. Firepit is directly next to the porta pottie so not the best location. We enjoyed our stay and reading the entries in the cabin log book. Very creative! Road to cabin (once off Palo Alto) is gravel but other homes are along the road so I don't think snow would be too much of a problem. One incident to report was car next to us at Upper Gray Wolf Trail had window broken out so make sure to leave nothing in sight or of value in the car. I am glad we emptied car at cabin prior to going to trail.

We had a great time at the Louella during summer 2020. This is a very rustic but charming cabin; no running water or bathroom so be prepared for that. The outhouse was very clean. No cell service either, which was actually really nice. We loved the gas fireplace at night and having a kitchen to cook in. Used the fire pit outside most nights too. Great spot for taking day trips, as there are endless destinations within an hour or 2 of the cabin.

The little house is very comfortable. The gas heater is powerful and warms the place right up on cold nights. Washing dishes in a dish pan works ok. The "outhouse" is at a good location. Like the last of the land. My only complaint is that it is in a more residential area than I thought it would be. My own home is in the same type of setting. Didn't really feel like I was cabin camping. Lovely relaxing stay otherwise.
